Technical file: eye shapes and liner.

Todays practical was all about eye shapes and different eye looks. In todays practical created three different looks; a day time look with a simple liner, a night time look with more dramatic liner and a look that related to the current trend from SS16 shows. This was also to teach us the importance of looking at your clients eye shapes, whilst a bold liner will suit one person, this may not be the best for another. 

Tools and products needed for these looks

• Eyeliner (liquid and pencil and in a range of colours)
• Mascara 
• Eyeshadow 
• Concealer 
• Eye primer 
• Brushes (for eyes)
• Eyelash curler
• Mascara wands 

Look 1 (Day time look)

1. Prep the eye by applying an eye base primer 
2. Conceal the eye if needed 
3. Apply a shadow that is natural to the clients skin tone.
4. Apply a little darker shadow in the darker colour (not too dark)
5. Starting from the outside draw a straight thin line with the liner in a diagonal shape upwards from the eye. 
6. Then go to the inner corner of the eye and draw a line following the lash line, joining it up to the line you have previously made. 
7. Curl the eyelashes.
8. Apply mascara to the bottom and top lashes.

Here is the outcome of this process. 

Look 2 (Night time look)

1. Prep the eye with an eye base primer.
2. Conceal the eye if needed. 
3. Apply a shadow that is natural to the clients skin tone.
4. Apply a darker shadow in the crease of the eye.
5. Apply a shimmery shadow to the eye socket. 
6. Starting from the outside draw a straight line with the liner in a diagonal shape upwards from the eye, this can be as thick as you like.
7. Then go to the corner of the eye and draw a line following the lash line, again this can be as thick as you would like.
8. Curl the eyelashes.
9. Apply mascara to the bottom and top lashes.

Steps 3,4 and 5 are optional, you can create the eye look as dramatic as you want.

Here is the outcome of this process.

Look 3 (SS16 trend)

The look I chose to follow was a bold liner in the colour blue, as this was trend kept cropping up again and again. I decided to change the look a little by applying a blue shadow to the inner corner of the bottom of the eye. 

Here are the steps for this process;

1. Prime the eye with an eye base primer.
2. Conceal the eye if needed.
3. using the blue eyeliner follow the steps from the previous looks, however this look is supposed to be very bold so the line can be very thick and sharp.
4. Taking a blue eyeshadow apply this to the inner corner of the eye.

Here is the outcome of this process.
